Ursula von der Leyen: A disaster as German Defense Secretary and a disaster as President of the European Commission

 

Ursula von der Leyen: Incompetent as German Defense Secretary and incompetent as President of the European Commission

She made the wrong calls when it came to the German Armed Forces and made much of the German Air Force non operational with fighting jets grounded and German helicopter pilots losing their licenses because of lack of flying hours. She is pretty bad news for Germany and is now pretty bad news for the European Union.

She was literally appointed as President of the European Commission thanks to a deal between Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron and has proved to be a disaster. Single-handedly she has brought the European Union into disrepute with a decision that embarrassed the European Union forcing the European Union to apologize to the United Kingdom when she threatened to cut supplies of vaccines to Northern Ireland. She was widely critized inside and outside Germany. She managed to united Loyalists and Unionists in Northern Ireland against her. She managed to ellicit angry responses from the German press both in Germany and outside Germany. She is an absolute and dangerous embarrassment. Successor to Angela Merkel? God help Germany is that is the case.
